Any recommendations for a machine shop in the Northeast?
« on: November 09, 2009, 06:38:24 PM »
I have a 81' CB650 that needs some resurfacing done to the mating surfaces on the head and may need some honing or boring done in the future.  I live near the Boston area and was wondering if anyone from the northeast could recommend a good machinist in the New England area?  I'd like to use a recommendation rather than picking and choosing randomly from the phone book.  lol   ;D

Thanks in advance

How about forum Member - Mike Reick - he is in Ashland, MA and fairly handy with these engines  ;)
